How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps people feel understood and find their own solutions by building on strengths and values. This approach fits issues like low self esteem, shame, and relationship concerns because it centers the person's perspective.
Solution-Focused Therapy looks at small, practical steps that move a person toward clear goals. Sessions aim to identify what’s already working and to try brief experiments between meetings. This method is useful for stress, anxiety, motivation, and improving communication by keeping work concrete and action oriented.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and the therapist will collaborate with each person to decide what fits best. Together they review goals, try different strategies, and adjust based on what helps. The focus is on what the client wants to change and what feels manageable.
